UNSPSC 51102818: Bacitracin/diperodon/neomycin/polymyxin b

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class DE109. This VA Drug Class (DE109) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTI-INFECTIVE, TOPICAL, OTHER.

UNSPSC 51102818 Bacitracin/diperodon/neomycin/polymyxin b is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it show little alignment with the code's nominal pharmaceutical scope. The Seminole County, Florida IFB for naloxone and drug deactivation systems, the Texas HHS Commission RFI on direct-to-manufacturer prescription programs, the City of Tampa IFB for medical and first aid supplies, and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP for generic multi-source pharmaceuticals and OTC products are all tagged to this code, yet none directly address topical antibiotic preparations. The Tampa Fire Department procurement includes respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, endotracheal tubes, and bandaging materials; the MMCAP initiative covers broad generic pharmaceutical and OTC product categories distributed through authorized wholesalers; the Texas HHS initiative seeks information on direct-to-manufacturer contracting models for pharmacy benefit programs; and the Seminole County procurement focuses on naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health. The issuing bodies include county health departments, state procurement offices administering cooperative purchasing vehicles, city fire departments, and state HHS agencies, reflecting the diversity of health and safety purchasing across jurisdictions.

Geographic activity spans Florida, Minnesota (with Oregon participating in MMCAP), and Texas. The most recent opportunity is the Seminole County IFB 60459723LAS, posted June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 26, 2023 (note: the due date appears inconsistent with the posting date); the solicitation requires quarterly deliveries of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, with vendors responsible for all shipping costs and subject to drug-free workplace certification and E-Verify compliance. The City of Tampa IFB 26P00145, posted March 25, 2026, is for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies estimated at $700,000, with a response deadline of March 13, 2026, and is sheltered exclusively for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount. The MMCAP RFP S1070000015802, posted January 20, 2026, with responses due March 26, 2026, establishes multi-award contracts for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products through three authorized wholesalers, with products required to be available by May 15, 2026, and resulting agreements effective July 1, 2026. The significant mismatch between the code's name and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding by state and local procurement offices or that this code aggregates a broader category than its title indicates; business development professionals should verify alignment with their product or service line before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
